The numbers say I am done shopping and it's time to paint! 
My storehouse inventory update yesterday shows what I have:

• 40+ sets of frames with matching canvases or panels ready to paint, or deep canvases ready without frames.
• More frames and canvases that could be ready but are not currently matched sets, so they need a little more shopping for the right size frames or canvases.
• Many smaller sizes of miscellaneous frames and canvases (6x8, 5x7, etc.) that I will just match up as needed.

Besides getting organized, I have also been tuning up my artist skills using the Mastrius website demos and skills presentations. I am ready to step up to a higher ($$) membership level for access to the video library of workshops.  Instead of attending multi-day  workshops in the cities, this might work fine for me, as long as I remember that watching is not the same as painting!

I found three ways of continuing my art while hanging around Granville Island this week: gallery gazing, photos and shopping.
Galleries - I love the inspiration of a wide variety of art styles and really loved some of them - the most expensive ones usually. Fortunately, having no visual memory means I can't copy anyone else's work. 

Photos - iphones are not just for texting, you know. They also take great photos that could turn into paintings!

Shopping - Opus happened to be open so we had to go in. There were the frames of my dreams, a whole stack of them! And on an unadvertised clearance sale! Well, that took care of the car's empty trunk problem! 

Look at what a better frame did for my Left-handed Mountains :). Now I like it too. 

I put this special book in a place where I will notice it and remember it's message  - How to Avoid Making Art by Julia Cameron. I have used all 144 excuses she lists, some more than once - like volunteer for a committee! or 3! or 5 and chair them all!  I can just flip to any page in the book and recognize my distractions :)

Photo lighting issue solved, maybe. "Vignette" was at 50% instead of 0% so it was darkening all around the image. This image is still not quite the same as the actual painting - the sky is too blue and the yellows and reds not bright enough. However, this is as close as I can get it at my current level of human AI. Time to sign it and finish the edges.
My friends who have been in the North realIy love it, so  might even get this one framed :)
